Software Developer Interview Experience - Dublin, Ireland
Process
There was a phone interview, followed by a full day technical assessment, and then a management meeting.
The phone interview was a quick chat about my previous experience.
The day-long technical assessment was with two software developers. They had a list of technical questions, covering topics such as:
- The difference between a struct and a class
- Object-oriented programming concepts
- MSSQL database design schemas
The two developers were pleasant.
The managerial interview went well until the interviewer asked why I had listed Linux on my CV when applying to Microsoft. He seemed to imply that I was "radically anti-Microsoft." It was unpleasant.
Questions
